Did you know that bees   depend on trees such as firs and pines for their survival?
Canadian world- renowned medical biochemist, Diane Beresford-Kroeger explains in her compelling book "The Global Forest" that bees do indeed need trees.🌲🌳

She explains that on hot and humid days the worker honeybees will go in search of resin. The honeybee tears the resins from trees and brings it back to the hive. There the resin is mixed with the wax from the beehive.  This mixture is waterproof and has an antibiotic action. The bees use the mixture to seal the hive.  This helps the hive to become airtight, watertight, and protects it from predators. To keep the hive sanitized the honeybees will entomb any invading insects with the resin.

 So when we plant trees, we also help to protect the billions of tiny bees that play an unbelievable important role in the web of life.
AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY THIRD MOUTHFUL OF FOOD WE EAT.

Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water

  Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water Globally 154 billion litres of bottled water was consumed in 2004.  This was up 57% from five years earlier.  In 2006, an astounding 30% of people in Ontario who had access to regularly inspected municipal water supply primarily drank bottled water.  Many people believe that bottled water is purer and safer than tap water. Before buying your next bottle of water please consider the following facts: Some bottled water actually comes from municipal water supplies, so you are paying twice for the same water. The City of Toronto inspects its water every four hours. Bottling plants are inspected only once every 3-6 years! Some studies have found concentrations of arsenic and mercury in bottled water. Bacteria in bottled water can multiply very quickly when stored over long periods or exposed to intense heat. Our oil supplies are peaking and gas prices are sky rocketing, making plastic bottles

DON'T TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN

 DON'T  TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN On Sunday, October 15, the Barrie Garden Club ventured out on a dark, dreary, and drizzly day to pick up litter, along Highway 26 close to Wilson Avenue. As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables. So it boggles my mind why so many Canadians do not use the readily provided containers, but instead  treat Mother Earth like a gigantic garbage bin. I simply cannot understand when someone buys a cup of coffee, they then go for a long hike, they  manage to carry the cup full of coffee, but the minute it’s empty, they simply cannot manage to carry  it back home a
